Greg and Trip quickly bond, and - initially because she doesn't have anyone else to talk to, and later because they begin to discover shared interests and values - Molly starts spending more and more time with Bridget. You can probably see where this is heading, even before I mention that Greg and Molly's relationship begins to founder as living together exposes differences and issues that they never previously noticed.
The above probably makes The Four-Faced Liar sound like a very standard coming out relationship story. And honestly, if you just look at the bare bones of the plot, that's exactly what it is. But a film doesn't have to break new narrative ground to be well-executed and effective. This is well-cast, well-acted, and consistently entertaining. If you're looking for a quiet night in with a queer-friendly romance, you could definitely do a lot worse.
